I subcontracted through an agency (corp-to-corp) for hourly wages. I no longer work with this agency because they pay so late. They still owe me $20,650 and refuse to pay. I understand there are no laws to enforce a contract, unless you can afford to fight it in court. I have been to the US Labor Dept. and the California State Labor Commission, but they won't help me because I am an independent contractor. Are there alternative ways to make a former business pay what they owe without going to court? I am going to try arbitration, but I do not have a lot of money. The amount listed above is for a couple of months pay, so my resources are limited. They are in violation of my contract, but apparently that doesn't mean very much. Is there a way to mark the businesses credit or sell the debt to a collection agency without having a court order?
